Yes. But notice that Slam Down considers like as if you used your Athletics roll like it was as you used a free-hand. So you can't add your weapon's item bonuses to the check unless your weapon have the trip trait.

I usually don't worry about the item bonus from the weapon. Just pick up an item with an Athletics bonus. They don't stack anyway and it's more useful to have a generally high Athletics.
Lifting Belt is pretty cheap early on.
